We always go through situation where we have to send mail on specific date time. Say there is a meeting on specific date time. What about sending reminder to your team members via mail 2 hours before the meeting? And that will be done by your email client or server itself.
Mail To The Future

Just what you described, as a free web service. [+] because *every* mail client should do this. [land, Oct 05 2005]

hi [prashant], and welcome. Outlook (with Exchange server) lets you schedule email to be dispatched at a future date. And also has 'handy' pop-up reminders for meetings (not via email, but on-screen) you could easily write a VBA script to do exactly what you want on that platform. |

It'd be interesting to globalise and
decorporationise this concept and move it
over to, say, Gmail or the like and see how
it handles social network groupings
outside the work sphere, across different
timezones. |
|
| |
Yes, because we all know that moving a feature from a product owned by Microsoft to a service owned by google "decorporatises" it. |
|
| |
Seriously, I'd expect any calendaring software that manages meetings at all to support this - it's trivial to implement and a really basic feature. |
|
| |
On Unix systems, check out "at", "cron", "crontab" for a general mechanism for doing things at a certain time. |
|
| |
Absolutely. Just as moving existing voice empowered IM into a new service launched by Google 'invents' free phone calls (or so you'd think according to the popular media). |
|
| |
Yep, Outlook already does that. |
|
| |
Hey look at that! I've got a meeting in fifteen minutes! better get my notes ready. (clicks snooze-remind two minutes before meeting, goes back to typing annotation) |
|

You can set up private appointments with yourself as the only attendant, too, if you require personal reminders. |

Sorry, [-] for being fully baked already. |
